Forgery Tries to Break Jail Federal Aides En Route to McAlester Fntire Gang, Southwest. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 24. B. L. King, superintendent of tho Southern Pacific's Oregon lines is not inclined to believe that tho man under arrest at McAlester, Okla., Is Ray d'Autre mont, one of thOthree brothers sus pected of robbing the mail train at Siskiyou, Cal., October 11, 1923. McALESTER, Okla., Nov. 24. Identification of a man held in jail here as "Nick" D'Autremont, Oregon train robber, had not been established today, according to tho police, al though they quoted the prisoner as declaring ho was D'Autremont. Tho mnn was arrestod here last week under the name of W. J. Por ter on a bogus chock charge. He was taken Into custody upon complaint of a Muskogee hotel man who told of his alleged efforts to trade mythical properties in Los Angeles valued at $5,000,000 to a Muskogee real cstato dealer. The Muskogee man was en route to Los Angeles to look tho property over when "Porter" was arrested The prisoner early today tried to pry tho door from his cell, but was unsuccessful: Several federa-I inspectors and dep uty sheriffs arrived here today to at toriipt to identify .the man, . ' According to a story told police late yesterday by a follow prisoner, "Por ter" said ho was not afraid to faco a jury, as ho could establish an alibi which would exonerate him. Ho also professed to have $150,000 In govern ment bonds and cash hidden near Tulsa. Federal officers arotsald to have advised McAlester police that tho en tire gang wanted for tho Siskiyou tun nel robbery and murder are in hiding in Oklahoma, or adjoining states. Personal belongings of "Porter searched by the police, indicated that he had left a trail of "bad" checks in other cities in Oklahoma, the last of which were cashed in' Muskogee. The sheriff's office this morning, said it had received no information on the latest development in tho Sis-1 kiyous tunnel, nnd that matter was entirely in the hands of federal and Southern Pacific officials. "Christmas is a holiday on rural delivery routes and postmasters and postal employees are urged to givo as much publicity as possible to this fact," says the postmaster general's offlco in a recent official bulletin to all postmasters. "The public should be advised that parcels for delivery on rural routes should be mailed so as to reach the office of delivery at- least three or four days before Christmas; also that . there is no objection to placing upon tho Christmas parcel tho inscription Tlease do not open until Christmas" or words to that effect. "Christmas last year was observed for the first time as a holidfty'by the carriers on rural routes throughout tho country. This was an experiment; No complaint has resulted from tha suspension of service on that day. therefore the holiday will bo con tinued." S. P. OAKLAND. Cal., Nov. 24. Engi neers, ftremcn and hostlers of the Southern Pacific railroad are taking a strike vote, the result of which will be known In a day or two, officials of the brotherhoods said today. The number of men affected was placed at 6500, working on lines from Ogden, t:tah. to the Pacific coast and from El Paso, Texas, westward. The vote was rcporte A to have fol lowed the refusal of the company to negotiate directly a request for an 8 per cent increase In pay which had been submitted to the railroad labor board. The board has the matter under ad isement. but. according to th'e union men, has held there is nothing to pre vent direct negotiations. The brotherhoods take the position that the board is without jurisdiction in this case. A two-thirds vote Is re quired to call the strike. 11 Sentiment to Punish Insurgent Bloc for Pestering Increases WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Representative Snell of.

Blood and Finger Prints Found in Parsonage Ghastly Finds in Furnace Pastor's Suicide Theory Scouted By Prosecuor After Investiga tion of Death! COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 24. A Jar lid containing about a half ounce of blood was found today in- tho fruit closet of the home of tho Rev. C. V. Sheatsloy, whore the partly cremat ed body of his wife was discovered In tho coal furnace a week ago to day. A bit of tissue that may havo been scraped from the body of a human, and dark stains which may be blood spots wore found in the parsonage today by County Prosecutor John R. King and assistants. Authorities who today were mak ing a minute examination of tho in terior of the dwelling also discovered a number of finger markB. Tho bit of tissue was found on a step leading to the cellar, and the supposed-- blood stains wero noted on the asbestos wrapping of a heat con duit abovo tho furnaco door, Mr. King said. . Mr. King said he was more firmly convinced than ever that Mrs. Shoats ley did not enter tho furnace volun tarily. ' Developments have proved to him conclusively, he said, that sho did not commit sulcido after becom ing violently Insane which is the ex pressed conviction of tho Rov, Mr. Sheatsley. The foggy and cold weather of The past two days has resulted in many wanderers of the homeless, hobo va riety applying at tho city prison for lodging there for the night and for something to eat, and .has also re sulted in an increase of surreptitious bogging for pioney on tho streets and applications at back doors of resi dences for "hand outs." , There were 17 hobo lodgers In the city prison last night, nearly all of whom had to lie on tho floor without covering. However, with a warm fire, it was much bettor than sleeping out in the open. The police accom modate all such applicants, prefer ring to have the cold and hungry men centered In ono place where they can be watched, rather than be wandering about the streets with temptation to commit crime to provide food and sleeping quarters. ' All hobos, however are warned to leave the city next morning anil those arriving during the day by freight trains are ordered out of the1 city, whenever discovered. Hobos who aro hungry and have no money are allowed to earn a meal by sawing wood at the city wood pile back of the public library, and then must leave town at once. However, quite a number of these vagrants re fuse to saw wood, preferring to leave the city immediately and trust to the chance of . Obtaining food in the country or some other city. Chief of Police Adams called at tention this morning to tho fact that the vast majority of hoboes which have been pausing through horo so far this winter are young men. "I never saw the like of it before In my experience," said tho chief today. "Tho most of them aro between the ages of 16 and 20, whereas In past years when during certain seasons we have had as high as 35 lodgers In one day and a very young man among them was rare. I do( not know the reason why so many young homo less men are on tho road, and the older type of hoboes has so de creased."
